marklincandle Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I need to calculate the area of a partial hemisphere. Like a polygon that is bowed (like a tent.) How can I create that and find the total area since area is only given for 2D objects and mine is a 3D? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Time is of the essence. We need to fabricate ASAP.

CipesDesign Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Select the 3d poly and go to the TOOL menu>VOLUMETRIC PROPERTIES. This should give you the info you need (area). If all else fails you can always trace the shape with the 2d polygon tool which will give you a close (but probably not an exact) surface area calculation. Quote Link to comment
